Why all this?
Except for simple cases…. Material properties are not definitive! Handbook values are typical, not representative You cannot possibly measure all the possible nuances of a materials behavior- nor would you be interested
Problem
Material properties differ…
Properties depend on the application
– on test conditions:
- temperature
- rate
- time
- environmental exposure
– the samples – the test specimens
Problem
What’s good for selection…
The correct material property for a particular use may not be the right one for another application Conversely, it is pointless developing properties outside the context of an application
can be bad for VPD!
Problem
Case 1
Automotive- Fuel Tank
– Material : Polyethylene (PE) – Deformation: large, low temp failure – Model: *ELASTIC/*PLASTIC – Data needed: stress-strain curve:
- fuel soaked specimens
- –40C
– Typical data: taken on virgin resin at 23C
Reality:
– Data at –40C is needed – Much stiffer, brittle failure? Example
Finding the right data
Imagine wading through enormous swamps looking for the right data
– Handbooks – Internet – Databases – File cabinets – Colleagues and co-workers
Problem
Inconsistent use of data

Problem
the six sigma killer…
Poor properties can be fatal
Property no longer represents the behavior being simulated Can be a root cause of error in CAE Presents a serious credibility problem for analyst, CAE tool, and VPD
Problem
How to avoid this?
Understand the environment that is being simulated Translate the behaviors into a set of measurable property requirements Pay heed to the underlying assumptions Develop representative properties Use consistently across VPD platform
Requirement
The big picture
We need to store a multitude of varied properties Which depend on the end use application For diverse applications For diverse material types Useable in a variety of CAE solutions
a major mess…
